Oct 2023 to present Sensry GmbH, Dresden

Expert Embedded Software

Embedded Software Engineer focused on low-level system

enablement and hardware–software integration for RISC-V

platforms.

Responsible for bringing a custom multi-core RISC-V

architecture into Zephyr, from initial bring-up to full

platform support.

• Ported and enabled a custom multi-core RISC-V CPU (1+8 cores) in Zephyr RTOS, covering architecture support and

full system bring-up

• Designed and implemented low-level drivers for key

peripherals (timer, UART, SPI, I²C, Ethernet MAC/PHY)

enabling production-ready platform functionality

• Implemented system-level support for privileged mode

and exception handling required for stable RTOS operation

• Enabled RTOS scheduling on a RISC-V platform without

standard machine timer (mtime) by integrating an alternative timing source and implementing trap-based

context switching with assembly-level validation

Curriculum Vitae

• Contributed to upstream Zephyr and appointed as

maintainer, supporting long-term platform integration and

code quality

• Achieved strong performance results (e.g. CoreMark at 400 MHz) through efficient system integration and multi-

core utilization

Oct 2022 to present orbit Sensorfusion GmbH, Jena/Dresden

Tech Lead / Co-Founder

Co-founder and technical lead for end-to-end development

of modular sensor and gateway systems for industrial

retrofitting, covering hardware, embedded Linux, connectivity, and cloud data pipelines.

• Designed and implemented a BLE-based sensor and

gateway platform, enabling retrofittable data acquisition in industrial environments

• Developed custom gateway hardware (based on Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4) including TPM-based

device identity and licensing, preventing software

duplication on standard hardware

• Built and stabilized 24/7 BLE connectivity on embedded

Linux systems, resolving issues such as reconnect storms, low-battery device behavior, and memory leaks in long-

running deployments
